Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families

Groups Will Love...
The barn's original stone walls remain exposed throughout, showcasing the building's agricultural past. Combined with the woodburning stove in the first-floor open-plan living space, these features create authentic barn character. The conversion over three floors retains the sense of the original farm building whilst adding modern comfort through electric underfloor heating. The stonework and layout make this a genuine barn conversion rather than just countryside accommodation.
Pet Friendly
Puddaven Barn does not accept pets. The property sits on a working farm with livestock and the owners maintain a no-pets policy for all bookings. Whilst the Dartmoor setting and farm surroundings would suit dogs, this isn't an option here.
